CECI N'EST PAS UN SPECTACLE is an animation that uses knitted 'pixel art' to illustrate a series of ideas and experiences collected through interviews with people around Montreal. Projected onto the facade of the Centre de Design, motifs, symbols and declarations appear in glorious lo-res knitted form - each one created, translated and appropriated from people living, working or just passing through Quartier des Spectacle. The work does not attempt to tell the story of these complex histories...

The process took place over three days over Easter, leading up to the final click of a large format camera shutter by photographers Mccoy Wynne. In embedding myself in the space over that time, I developed an approach to my filming, deciding early on not to use any interviews,...
